Profile:
Considering his pedigree and the start he had to his international
career, Sanjay Manjrekar's final figures must be termed
disappointing. For a batsman of his class, skill and technique, he
certainly should have scored many more runs and lasted a longer time
at the top. The cynics will say it was lack of confidence on his part
while his fans will blame the selectors who just did not seem to know
where to fit him in. Whatever the reasons, his early retirement,
brought about by the fact that he was more out of than in the Indian
was a tragedy for Indian cricket.
A series of tall scores from the blade of the teenage son of Vijay
Manjrekar made him a young batsman to follow for more reasons than
one. And when in only the second Test that he batted, he scored 108
against the fearsome pace quartet in the Caribbean in 1989, displaying
a technique that seemed to match his late father's, Manjrekar seemed
set to be the pivot of the Indian batting in the 90s. This feeling
gained momentum in the series in Pakistan towards the end of the same
year. He took classic batsmanship to new heights while scoring 569
runs in four Tests hitting a century and a double century. Through the
early 90s he maintained both his form and his place in the side. By
the mid 90s however batsmen like Pravin Amre and Vinod Kambli started
to make a name for themselves and Manjrekar's place became shaky. In
desperation he even offered himself as an opener. But even though it
was not yet apparent, by now his days as an Indian batsmen were
numbered and he played his last international game in the 1996-97
season. He was a Bombay stalwart for several years and had a highest
score of 377. Manjrekar was also blessed with a lilting voice and he
even had a hit single to his name. In top form with the bat, he
certainly was on song. It is a pity that the selectors did not realize
it.(Partab Ramchand)
